An Update and the Zoo

Well, we sold the house. It passed inspection and now the only stipulation is on the closing of the buyer's house! We will however be heading to Virginia before Christmas... So, we are trying to fit in as much as possible with our family and friends, while still packing, doing school and getting ready to visit Williamsburg/Newport News and preparing for Christmas!

We recently enjoyed an afternoon at the zoo with some good friends of ours...

Boo was in charge of navigation (maybe that's why we kept going in circles)

This penguin is real, I promise! For some reason it looks very fake here.

Lions now scare Boo "to death". So if she sees a picture of any large cat she declares-
"That thing is scaring me to DEATH"
or (my personal favorite)
"I is freaking out!!!!!"

Boo named this snake Katie.

Jenny's Camera

I just downloaded the pictures from Jenny's camera for the first time since she got it (in January) and decided to share with you some of her best shots that would recap our year thus far!

FINALLY A POST!!

We have been running insanely lately and the blog has been sadly neglected, so I will now update y'all on what's happening!

1. New Family Photos!
We finally got around to taking updated family photos for both our band and our Christmas card!
Taking pictures of 9 people at once (3 of whom are 10 and under) is a lot harder than I thought!The Kids

Boo

Josh and Leah

The Girls

And this shot is Brian's doing. It is soooo typical of Emily, Jenny and I! (~SMILE~)

2. We are enjoying all of this beautiful weather we have been blessed with!
3. We enjoyed a beautiful ride through our friend's cattle farm during our church's annual hayride!
4. We have been packing and cleaning like crazy!
Getting ready to move is exhausting!
Daddy starts his new job on Jan. 3, 2011! Praise the Lord for providing a new income for our family so quickly!

Happy Birthday

Happy Sweet 16 Emily!

It's also her golden birthday!

Happy Belated Birthday to Jenny!

And the craziness continues at the House of Mulhearn!
P.S. For anyone interested, this is the last year that there will EVER be 4 Mulhearn teenagers at the same time! As of April that will forever be a thing of the past! It's okay Mom, having a 20 year old DOES NOT make you old (having a four year old at the same time ensures that!)

Happy Birthday to ME!
